A year ago, the Veteran Support Specialist position had opened up. Theodore conducted a search and ended up hiring an old high school friend, Richard Johnson. Richard had served two tours of duty in Afghanistan (one with Theodore) and two tours of duty in Iraq. Richard’s references always commented on how well he
There were over 3,000 nurses that served in the Canadian Army Medical Corps (CAMC) alone. The nurses were very well-known for their kindness, efficiency and professional appearance, they were very brave and compassionate. They were greatly admired by soldiers, so much so that they received a sobriquet - Bluebirds. Laura, like many nurses, talks about her patients with respect and sympathy, although in her diary only a few of them are mentioned. These nurses worked extremely hard each day and risked their lives with each person they helped.

Thank you Veterans Veterans do a lot for us by defending our country and our home. We thank them by having a full day dedicated to our veterans. Three reasons that I think veterans should be thanked for are; going out to defend our country when no ones else does, I also want to thank you for demonstrating a great work ethic and doing all of this work for people you don’t even know. The first thing I want to thank you for was for defending our country.
Today we celebrated the life of Gary Raum whom spent the majority of his life serving our country. When he retried, he found himself traveling down a road one day to notice an old beat up, rusted truck that he had a vision to restore. It wasn 't until a year later, but he found himself with that truck on his mind again and he went and offered $300.00 cash for the shell of a truck and the work began. He started the refurbishing that it would need and five years later that same truck that he had a vision for was the same truck that transported him to his final resting place. He, found himself, being surrounded by the things that he loved, his wife of sixty years, children and grandchildren and most importantly, his truck.
I felt fortunate to have attended the session with Bonnie, an epitome for an ideal hospice care provider. She demonstrates an ability to connect anyone in personal level and with full attention; thereby, making both the recipients and their family feel cared. As she shared her experience, it was reflected that she made sure the care is provided to the patients spiritually; and other needs are also taken care of. Bonnie joined hospice care after realizing the previous career of a social worker was not fulfilling. It was inspiring that she reflected it is never too late to change a career trajectory.
To All Veterans; To those that have served, from the birth of our great nation to our infinite future. To those that thought more of the lives of others more so than of their own lives. To the families that allow these one-in-a-hundred type men and women to serve and jeopardize their lives for the greater good of this distinguished nation. Today I’m thanking you and will forever be thanking you, for I’m proud to say I’m a free man, rather than under the control of tyranny and dictatorship. You have impacted this great nation in a way that at times is incomprehensible when considering what separates us from other nations across the world.
It was under the most delicate of circumstances, when I realized what I was born to do for the rest of my life. It was march 2007, my grandfather was suffering from pneumonia and due to his deteriorating condition he was hospitalized. I had flown in from Toronto to be by his side. Sitting anxiously by his bedside with tears in my eyes wondering if I could do anything to make my grandfather feel better, I watched doctors come and go , updating us on his blood reports, EKGs, chest x-rays, ABGs, and at the same time constantly counseling my concerned family members. As they explained what they were doing to bring my grandfather to the path of recovery, I watched in utter fascination.
Servant leadership is an important skill that all nurses should make a part of their daily lives. I still have a lot to learn about nursing, but I have already seen servant leadership in action during clinical. My experiences have both been at the main hospital. At the main hospital, I had a patient with atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response.
His role as an oncologist has profoundly influenced the manner in which I plan to practice medicine in the future: with respect, compassion, and empathy for my patients. It was my observation of his interactions with cancer surviving patients that first inspired me to pursue medicine. These interactions inspired me not only to embark on a profession where I could serve others, but also make a difference in the lives of others. I believe I can make the biggest impact in the lives of my future patients by combining my passion for the clinic and science as a physician-scientist. Though I am early in my medical journey, and am willing to keep an open mind, it is only natural that I yearn to pursue a profession related to oncology.
Through my studies of human expression and its reflection of how people deal with world events in different ways, I developed sensitivity to other worldviews that continues to prove useful through my daily interactions with people of different backgrounds. I have learned that just like art, medicine involves pattern recognition and derives insight from experiences. Similarly, what I especially enjoy about being a medical assistant is interacting with patients on a daily basis and getting to be a part of their medical experiences, even if it is just by lending an ear. The experiences on my path to a career in medicine have made me want to make a real, tangible difference in the lives of those around me – a difference that leaves my patients in a better condition than they were in before I met them.
The level of care that the varying healthcare professionals provided to these patients was fascinating and became intrigued to a career path in the medical field. Over the next couple of years, I narrowed the possibility
Self-actualization or Societal Success Robert N. Bellah’s book Habits of the Heart tells a story about the societies in which we live and how we interact in such societies. This book analyzes the question that Alexis de Tocqueville raised 150 years ago. He wondered if Americans would be able to maintain their freedoms set out for them or if they would gradually allow their ideas of freedom to transfer over into democratic despotism. Tocqueville and many others feared for our nation because all of its expectations and standards would result directly form its people.
I was glad, however, that my instructor allowed us to pair up that day with our patients that way we could learn from each other. I enjoyed talking with my patient, and hearing about his military service, and his family.
